To reinforce this, Jesus didn't just say it was hard for a rich person to get into heaven, he said "And again I say unto you, it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich [person] to enter into the kingdom of God." --Matthew 19:23-26
Personally, I think this is specifically referring to the level of greed that it requires to hoard enough wealth to become (and stay) a billionaire while the world suffers. It's important to understand that this is our Bible, the foundation of everything Christianity is supposed to be about. These freaks have twisted it so much, it's unrecognizable...
No issues with you comment, but I find it disheartening that leadership in churches around the country do not condemn what is happening
That's how far we've come. I know many here are vehemently opposed to any faith-based belief system, and that's 100% your right. But churches and religious leadership promoting Trump and hate are shitting on everything God said in the one book he gave us. Modern Christians should read the Bible and find a church that follows it. If possible. Not the other way around...
I try to tell Christians to just read the words of Jesus if they don't have time to read their whole book. Some bibles have them helpfully marked with red ink.
It goes on though:
So what I'm getting is "everyone goes to heaven, but don't say that too loud or people will be dicks to each other".
fun fact, the "eye of the needle" isn't referring to a needle. they're small gaps in the big stone walls just big enough for a person to squeeze through but intentionally designed so that a camel cannot get in. he's not even saying it's metaphorically impossible he's saying it's literally impossible, and by design.
This is a cope made up by wealthy Christians from what I understand. Source?
